Stranger and Chen in the Palace

Coming out of Qianju Hall, Ling Yichen slowly returned to Xihe Palace.

Even if you look at it from a distance, this majestic palace shows its incomparable in every way. The majestic outline outlines the supremacy of imperial power in the dark night. Only the emperors of the past are qualified to live in this palace. Now, he Became its owner, but living here, I feel even colder in my heart.

He is the only one in the huge Xihe Palace...

During quiet contemplation, Shunde came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xue Zimo is asking to see you."

Originally, Shunde should call Xue Zimo a son-in-law, but as Ling Yichen's personal eunuch, he couldn't see Ling Yichen's special feelings for Xue Zimo, so he deliberately avoided the word "son-in-law".

"Xuan-"

Ling Yichen's cold and lonely voice sounded.

After a while, light and slow footsteps sounded, this is his footsteps!The familiar voice stepped on his heart step by step, making Ling Yichen feel uneasy for no reason.

Is he finally willing to come to see himself?

Xue Zimo walked in slowly, and saw Ling Yichen sitting in the middle, just about to kneel down to salute, but heard his voice without the slightest warmth: "Mr. Xue is famous, so there is no need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xue Zimo bowed.

Shunde retreated quietly and closed the door of the main hall.

Xue Zimo said: "Your Majesty, Zimo wants to ask you for a favor."

Ling Yichen raised his eyes to look at him, but did not speak, so Xue Zimo could only continue: "Zimo wants to go to prison to see His Highness King Jing, and please allow His Majesty."

Ling Yichen's hand under the case suddenly tightened, his face was slowly covered with a layer of frost, and after a while, he said coldly: "Sure!"

Call Jin Shunde, "You take Mr. Xue to see King Jing."

"Yes." Shunde said respectfully.

Xue Zimo bowed his head: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

The two withdrew from the main hall, and Shunde ordered a little eunuch at the door: "Go in and serve His Majesty."

"Yes." The little eunuch hurriedly turned around and entered the hall.

"Bring wine..."

Ling Yichen ordered someone to come, and the little eunuch hurriedly served the wine as he said.

Ling Yichen quickly poured himself wine and drank a few glasses, but he still couldn't suppress the pain in his heart.

After becoming the throne, Xue Zimo came to see him for the first time, but it was for Ling Yihao.He married Ling Muxue, and he cared about Ling Yihao, even if he regarded him like a jewel, he didn't care at all...

"Your Majesty, Lord Qin Feng is asking to see you." Another young eunuch came in and reported cautiously.

At this moment, Ling Yichen didn't want to see anyone, but this Qin Feng had to. It was he who asked Qin Feng to wipe out the remaining forces of Ling Yihong and Ling Yihao.Now that he has only ascended the throne not long ago, these people are extremely unstable factors, and he has to pay attention to them.

"Let him in."

Soon, two people entered the hall, maybe a little drunk, Ling Yichen didn't ask why there was one more person.

Qin Feng pulled the man to kneel down to salute Ling Yichen: "Your Majesty, I have already wiped out the influence of the traitors Ling Yihong and King Jing in the court according to your order. Shouldn't we start to wipe out the forces outside the court?"

Ling Yichen didn't even look at him, and poured the wine directly: "You are fully responsible for this matter, and you can arrange it yourself."

This Qin Feng's action was really fast enough, and it was really right to entrust the matter to him. At this time, the biggest hidden danger is in the court, and after the remnants of the court are wiped out, he can also take a breather.

Qin Feng was originally a member of King Jing, and he was resentful because he was not reused by Ling Yihao. This time, he took the initiative to ask Ying to help him eliminate Ling Yihao's influence, and he was happy to use it.

After all, only those inside them know how deep Ling Yihao's roots are.

The people on Ling Yihong's side were not worried. With Xiao Ye and Huang Zaizhong, he had already figured out Ling Yihong's power clearly.But he also handed over this matter to Qin Feng, not because he trusted him so much, but because of such a high-profile matter, he would naturally not let his cronies take risks.

Qin Feng didn't know Ling Yichen's intentions, thought it was Ling Yichen's importance to him, and said excitedly: "I will do my best to uproot the stumps for your Majesty, without leaving any threat!"

"Threat?" Ling Yichen slightly raised his eyebrows.

Qin Feng hurriedly kowtowed: "My minister said something wrong, please punish me, Your Majesty."

"You're right, so..." Ling Yichen drank another cup, "Thank you for your hard work."

Qin Feng was very excited: "I am willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty, and I will never say no to hard work."

It seems that his day of success is not far away, Qin Feng is secretly happy.

Ling Yichen chuckled, poured another glass of wine, and drank it down.

"Your Majesty, it's not right for you to drink like this. Wine should be tasted slowly." The person next to Qin Feng interrupted suddenly.

The little eunuch frowned, it was really disrespectful for this man to speak like this in front of His Majesty.

Ling Yichen's eyes fell on him, and he heard the man continue: "If you drink like this, you won't be able to taste the sweetness of the wine at all, only a bitter taste will remain in your mouth."

Hearing this, Ling Yichen felt a sudden pain in his heart.

That year, Xue Zimo took him to the Imperial Capital Night Market, looked at him tenderly, and said softly: "Look, if you drink it all at once, you can only feel the strength and bitterness of the wine, but if you taste it slowly, drink it In the end, you will find that after the strong and bitter, there is a faint sweetness and fragrance, just like your life..."

These words are still ringing in my ears, the person who said these words has probably forgotten, right?

The little eunuch saw that this person was talking too much, and scolded: "Bold, how dare you speak to Your Majesty like this!"

Qin Feng's face tightened, but the man did not change his expression, still smiling.

Ling Yichen waved his hand at the little eunuch, and said to the man: "Since you know wine, come and drink with me..."

"Yes." The man slowly stepped forward and sat down beside Ling Yichen.

Seeing this, Qin Feng secretly let out a sigh of relief, and exited the hall calmly.

Under Shunde's leadership, Xue Zimo walked slowly to Ling Yihao's cell.

The place is dark and humid, rats and cockroaches are running around, and there is still a musty smell in the air. Xue Zimo couldn't help frowning. Ling Yihao has been held in the palm of his hand since he was born and grew up. How has he suffered such hardship?

"Young Master Xue, we're here!" Shunde stood still in front of a cell.

Xue Zimo looked over and saw Ling Yihao with disheveled hair, squatting in a corner of the cell with his head bowed, wearing only dirty obscene clothes, completely gone from his usual vigor.

"Please open the cell," Xue Zimo said.

Shunde hesitated for a moment, and gestured to the jailer on the side.Seeing the instructions from the chief supervisor, the jailer hurried forward to open the door of the cell, bowed his waist to please and stood aside

Ling Yihao raised his head and looked at Xue Zimo, his withered eyes slowly overflowing with brilliance.

Xue Zimo turned to Shunde and said, "Can I have a few words with the prince alone?"

Shunde nodded, and greeted the jailer to leave the cell.

After the two left, Xue Zimo walked into the cell, bowed to Ling Yihao and said, "My lord."

"He became the emperor?" Ling Yihao smiled haggardly.

Xue Zimo nodded.

Ling Yihao said: "Congratulations."

How can you not congratulate?Everything he did was to make Ling Yichen the emperor, and now that his wish has been fulfilled, of course he should congratulate him.

Xue Zimo raised the corners of his mouth, smiled bitterly, and quickly changed the subject: "My lord, you have taken care of Zimo a lot over the years, and Zimo is extremely grateful."

"Just gratitude?" Ling Yihao looked at him, with starlight in his eyes.

"Yes. In fact, Zimo knew the prince's intentions a long time ago, but Zimo has always regarded you as a close friend, that's all." Xue Zimo replied.

He knew it clearly, but he still asked unwillingly, what answer could he expect to get other than heartache again?

Ling Yihao's eyes dimmed: "Then why are you still here?"

Seeing Ling Yihao's expression, Xue Zimo couldn't bear it, so he said: "My lord is in trouble, as a good friend, I should visit him."

"Hahahahaha..." Ling Yihao burst into laughter suddenly, and kept nodding while laughing, "Okay, okay..."

In the end, I couldn't stand up from laughing, and tears came out.

The more he was like this, the more guilty Xue Zimo felt.The person in front of him also had a deep affection for him, but he could only pretend to be Ling Yichen in his heart.

Xue Zimo stood there fixedly, looked at Ling Yihao for a while, bowed to him with his head down: "My lord, please take care!" Then he exited the cell.

Coming out of the cell, Xue Zimo sighed heavily.

He knew that someone would report the conversation between him and King Jing to Ling Yichen, and he only hoped that he could save Ling Yihao's life, otherwise he would be hurt again...
